Cut the Cord

I used to hold onto the weight you bring

Carried your chaos like it was my thing

But now the leash is worn

The thread is torn

Your stormy clouds no longer keep me worn

You’d pour your venom like it's free champagne

But now I see through every burning chain

A shadow's love ain't love

It's just a ghost

I’ll raise a toast

No more of what you boast

Cut the cord

Set my wings on fire

Let your games expire

Lift me higher

Lose the noise

Hear the quiet sing

Free from the sickness of what you’d bring

Every laugh we had held a razor blade

Every smile you gave was a price I paid

But now I’m rich with air

With soul

With time

Your toxicity’s no longer mine

I’ll walk alone but not afraid of night

I’ve found my feet and I’ve found my light

No vipers left to whisper fears in vain

This heart won’t beat for needles of your pain

Cut the cord

Set my wings on fire

Let your games expire

Lift me higher

Lose the noise

Hear the quiet sing

Free from the sickness of what you’d bring
